The Newest Democrat?

Usama bin Laden, our mortal enemy in the War on Terror, released an election eve video through al Jazeera TV in the Mideast. It was either an attempt to affect our election or a signal to some cell to launch an attack.

As for the tone of the tape - unlike previous tapes where he was a fire-breather who regularly promised our destruction, he seems to have turned into somewhat of a girlie-man terrorist who says it's in our hands not to be attacked again if we leave them alone. I'm guessing that killing or capturing 75% of his killer buddies, under the capable leadership of George W. Bush, has neutered him a great deal.

Nonetheless, he made a couple of interesting points:

- Just like John Kerry, bin Laden argues that President Bush has "lied" to the American people since 9/11.

- Just like Michael Moore, bin Laden argues that President Bush was derelict for sitting in a classroom reading to students during the 9/11 attack.

Gee, when you there isn't a dime's width of difference between our mortal enemy and one of our political parties - there's a problem there.

The one remaining question is: Where is Usama? Maybe he's in Florida hiding as a registered Democrat.
